Maria Thattil And Moana Hope Face Split Rumors

Recent social media activity raises questions about their relationship status amid speculation.

The love story between former Miss Universe Australia Maria Thattil and AFLW star Moana Hope appears to be on shaky ground as rumors of their split continue to swirl. Popular gossip outlets have recently speculated about the couple’s relationship status, especially after noticing Moana's absence from Maria's social media posts.

Questions arose when the Instagram account Influencer Updates responded to followers asking about the pair's breakup. "I think they have. I was hoping Moana was just missing from Maria's socials because Moana was going on I'm A Celeb... but it looks like Moana is posting at home this weekend," the site stated.

Indeed, Moana shared several casual posts on her social media recently, showcasing her home life and quelling earlier assumptions about her participating in the reality series I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Australia. The last appearance of Moana on Maria's Instagram was noted to be back in November, whereas Moana’s last mention of Maria dates back to September.

The pair, often regarded as Melbourne’s new ‘it’ couple, first captured the public’s attention when they started dating late last year. Since then, their romance has unfolded largely under the radar. Maria has previously expressed her admiration for Moana, calling her the 'love of her life' during her appearance on The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show.

Maria shared insights about her relationship, stating, "It is amazing, and challenging, and growing me in ways I've never experienced." She emphasized how her connection with Moana reshaped her perspective on love and ambition, highlighting how she didn't need to sacrifice her career for love. "Here I am with real love in my life. With someone I love very much," she said, radiantly.

This deep commitment seemed to take on new dimensions as they discussed their growing family dynamic, with Maria getting to learn about Moana’s experiences as she steps alongside her partner and her two children, Svea and Ahi. "She's got kids, and it's this whole other side to me I didn't know," Maria explained. "Because I deserve love and I'm enough. And it's okay I'm making room for this."

Yet, even though they’ve shared glimpses of their life together, both Maria and Moana have remained private when it came to their relationship. According to Maria, "Something I've learnt is the importance of protecting certain parts of your life and keeping something sacred."

With public interest always brewing, she expressed discomfort at the notion of people's expectations intruding on their personal life. "Strangers feel entitled to you; sometimes they can have parasocial relationships where they feel entitled to ask me things," she voiced. "I feel like I don't want undue pressure."

Last November, Moana stirred excitement as her social media post hinted toward impending marriage, capturing moments from the Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards. One of the images suggested Moana might propose, igniting sheer anticipation among followers. Responding to their inquiries about wedding plans, Moana humorously noted, "Watch this space!"

More recently, the few public glimpses of their life sparked more speculation, particularly with Moana sharing pictures with her children and her new family pet, a Cavoodle puppy named Stella, chosen by her kids. While this brings joy, it also casts shadows over their relationship clarity.

Fans are left wondering if the magic has faded or if the couple is merely going through a rough patch. This backdrop of speculation challenges both women as they navigate public life and personal needs. Amidst the swirl of rumors, the reality of what lies beneath their social media posts remains unclear.

For now, both women are relatively tight-lipped about the status of their relationship. Maria has yet to address the breakup rumors directly but refrains from dismissing their foundational love. The future of Maria Thattil and Moana Hope remains uncertain, but their romantic history certainly generated buzz and anticipation for what lies next.
